I had the USPS tell me that a certified package was delivered, only to have
the recipient tell me that it wasn't delivered, and the postmaster to tell me
three weeks later that it was "lost." That's honest? That's reliable?
Spammers are given a bulk discount. That's honest?
It takes 97 days on average for a letter to go from Beaverton to Wood Village,
a distance of 30-odd miles. If it gets delivered at all. That's honest or
reliable?
